Redirect from LTI iFrame

[srg25]

I want to redirect out of the LTI iFrame to the Canvas homepage.  When the user presses the cancel button, the event sends the user to the canvas homepage but it is within the LTI iFrame.  Does anybody know how to get out of the iFrame using javascript or C#?

Thank you,

Shawn

In HTML you can add the property target="_parent" to your <a> tags and it will open a link from an iFrame in the parent window of the iFrame. So it would look like

<a href="http://google.com" target="_parent">Click here.</a>

OR

In JavaScript:

window.parent.location.href= "http://www.google.com";
